Longest Lasting Super Bright Rim Lights #Review






One thing my family has done together since moving in to town 5 years ago is take bike rides together. It gives us time to be together, have fun and also sneak in a little work out. One of our big rides we do happens at night on the 4th of July. My husband and I have always worried about lighting up the kids bikes enough we've use head lamps and glow sticks in the spokes of the tires which takes quite a bit of time to weave in and out of the spokes of the tires only to light through the night. So when I was contacted to do a review on these #bikelights I jumped at it. These #longestlastingsuperbrightrimlights were sent to me free of charge for an honest on review.

Amazon Product Description

  • Light up your bike at night with the Speed Racer rim lights - Choose from three different styles
  • Motion sensor LED technology ensures durability along with 50,000 hours of lifetime
  • Easy to install - simple attach LED wheel flash light to valve stem on bike. Fits almost all bikes.
  • Package includes A 3 pack of 2 x green 2 x blue 2 x colorful LED Valve Bike Lights
  • Speed Racer is rust resistant, 1100% waterproof and usable through any terrain.
Speed Racer only lights up once put in motion, and thus will not require constant turning on and off. Based on LED technology (light emitting diode), the rim light will endure through almost any terrain as well as rough handling. Want to bike in the rain or through small ponds? The rim lights are 100% waterproof and rust resistant - to put it differently, once the LED has been installed you will never have the hassle of taking it off or putting it on again unless you want to.
As the speed racer is attached and functioning properly, it may enhance safety by increasing visibility at night.
Comes with
2 x Green LED Bike Wheel Lights
2 x Blue LED Bike Light
2 x Red LED Bike Light
6 x Valve Covers
18 x AG10 batteries


These lights are a great way to add some fun lights to your bicycle or other wheels that have valve stems. The lights come in a six pack with two each of green, blue, and multicolored LED valve bike lights.





The lights come with the button batteries pre-installed, but with a small piece of plastic between the battery and the contact to keep them from activating before you get them. 
If they didn't the batteries would be dead before you received them. 








The first thing that has to be done after you have opened the package up is to unscrew the light to remove the little piece of plastic.

You then will put it back together and add a stem adapter if needed and then these little lights can be place on almost any valve cover.                                            
 There’s no on/off switch on these lights; they’re motion activated, with up to 50,000 hours of lifetime.

  

The lights by themselves didn’t fit on my bike, but they fit perfectly once I added in the adapter. The lights are also rust resistant and waterproof, so you don’t have to remove them if you’re going to be riding in the rain or over rough terrain. They are alot like one of those fix it and forget it recipes. Once they are installed you can just leave them in place.
These fun little lights aren’t just for bikes. They will work with strollers, scooters, bike trailers, and even cars (I'm not sure if they are legal on the car tires though I would check your local laws before trying them out there.)
Over all these little light were a big hit with all the family especially the kids! I feel like the pictures on Amazon might not be very representative of the actually ability of the light. You would have to be pedaling very fast for the light to light up all the way around the tire. But they are still pretty awesome.
My kids really loved the multi colored light over the Blue and Green lights. Because they flashed for longer when not in motion.  
We did have a few lights that didn't light up well but when we messed with how tightly it was screwed together the worked fine. 
These fun little lights are available on #amazon with Amazon Prime for $13.95 at the time of this posting.

The glow sticks were perfect for our birthday party. They are very bright! My kids and party guest had a blast with the glow sticks! The sticks when connected to themselves made great bracelets and anklets for the kids (some of the adults needed two). The kids could use two glow sticks to make a necklace but they preferred 3 as did the adults. We had several of the girl sticking them out of the pony tail really made them look like glow in the dark Jester. 
Sorry some of these pictures are fuzzy we where having a hard time taking picture of the glow sticks in the dark.

The kids also set up several night games with the glow sticks the connected 2 of each color to make a twister board in the front lawn.




 All the kids really enjoyed playing glow in the dark twister!

 We made targets for ring tosses.





The kids even set up a tick tack toe glow in the dark game.
 The kids played for hours... they ran across the law with glow snakes.
They made weird glow faces..

 
The kids also put the glow sticks in those big punch balloons. It's hard to see in the picture but they did glow well in the lighter colored balloons.

They also play glow stick tag and the feel asleep on the tramp.
But the fun did not end there!!!! That's when the adults started to play. 


 



 If you have the patients like my husband you can create 3D balls and cubes with the glow sticks.

 And you can click here to see what happens when you put the glow sticks in a battery powered drill.
 And what do you do with the glow sticks that have broke open? Create a glow in the dark master piece.
When everyone was done and the night was coming to and the glow stick that were left, were still glowing strong after 5 hours of play.
